What started as a fish fry for a couple hundred people in 1966 has turned into a two-day event for 50,000. It’s the 43rd annual Grant Seafood Festival in Grant, FL. There’s music and arts and crafts, but what you’re really here for is seafood, and lots of it! Here’s a partial list of what’s available: lobster bisque, steamed clams, calamari, fried shrimp, fried clam strips, seafood dinners of fish, hushpuppies, slaw, and beans, conch fritters, shrimp and tuna kabobs, raw oysters, Manhattan clam chowder, steamed oysters, New England clam chowder, fried oysters, deviled crabs, fried scallops…
The festival began yesterday and continues today, 9 am until 5 pm. Parking and admission is free. See the festival website for details.
